> Google is the air of a teeming metropolis in a developing country. Every breath is polluted with foreign substances that someone else out there. Your capacity suffers as each action is taxed by the aerosolized tar.

Is it though? To the extent that I need to pay for an alternative? I struggle to recall when I ever searched for something and went down to the second half of my screen. I do agree searching using the Google app on an Android phone is crazy, but who would subject themselves to that? On a browser with a proper ad blocker, I don't see how it is that horrible.

Do you have an example of a search where Google gives such an odious result, but another engine's is excellent?
